Resumen
The purpose of this degree work is to present a proposal to improve the aqueduct system of the La Concepción village in the Quebradanegra municipality, Cundinamarca. Taking into account that in Colombia a large part of the municipalities do not have the administrative, operational, and financial capacity that can guarantee access to a water supply system suitable for human consumption.
Initially, for the development of this study, secondary information is gathered to know the conditions of the work area. Following that, visits are made to the municipality to find out the conditions regarding the provision of aqueduct service. From the above-mentioned, it was evident that the collection, adduction, solid sedimentation, and water conduction units are in conditions that do not guarantee the quality of water suitable for consumption, on the other hand, the topographic state of the study area is a determining variable for the implementation of pipelines due to the high presence of landslides.
Mainly, the population was made aware of different alternatives that can improve the quality and continuity of drinking water and basic sanitation services. The first alternative is the implementation of an aqueduct distribution network that has new units and new points for their location. The second is a rainwater use system that can supply each user during the days when there is no service, and, finally, the implementation of a homemade filter that improves the physical and chemical characteristics of the water.
